Down
- 1. the tendency to recall the initial terms in a series of items; evaluate others sin terms of first impressions
- 2. In information processing, the easiest memory task, involving identification of objects or events encountered before
- 3. a way of mentally representing the world, such as a belief or expectation, that can influence perception of people, objects, and situations
- 8. the sensory register that briefly holds mental representations of auditory stimuli
- 14. the stage of memory first encountered by a stimulus; holds representations briefly
- 18. the activation of specific associations in memory, often as a result of repetition and without making a conscious effort to access the memory
